Create Tote Bags
Bag making is effortless on the Juki TL-15!
Miranda J. shared this stunning oversized bag with the Juki Junkies community. Just look at the size — it fits perfectly thanks to the Juki TL-15's generous throat space.
For clean, defined topstitching, we recommend using a 90/14 topstitch needle, which features a larger eye ideal for stitching through thicker layers on the exterior of the bag.

Wax Canvas Bag
This machine glides effortlessly through waxed canvas.
The key is always using the right combination of thread and needle to tackle those heavy fabric layers with ease.
Thank you, Mary J., for sharing your beautiful bag with us!

Key Chain & Coin Purse
The Juki TL-15 handles bag making with ease.
One of the most common compliments the TL series receives is its ability to glide through multiple layers — like four layers of cotton, several layers of stabilizer, and even fleece in between — without hesitation.
If only we could zoom in on this photo to show you the beautifully defined stitches, often referred to as the iconic "dinosaur humps".

Gentle enough for garment sewing, precise enough for quilting, and tough enough for bag making—the Juki TL-15 handles it all. Whether you're working with chiffon or powering through faux leather, denim, or canvas, this machine delivers beautifully consistent stitches.
Juki Junkies owner, aka Gigi, has affectionately named its stitches the “dinosaur humps” — you can see each stitch beautifully woven into the fabric.
Constructed with a durable aluminum die-cast frame, the Juki TL-15 reduces vibration for smoother sewing and professional-looking results.
It’s loaded with premium features, including a walking foot, built-in bobbin winder, and a sub tension unit that stabilizes thread tension. It also supports needle sizes from #9 to #18, making it adaptable to a wide range of projects.
The difference between the Juki TL-15 and the Juki TL-2010Q comes down to accessories — the Juki TL-15 includes more to support quilters and creators right out of the box.
